Oops, my bad, Social Security edition

Republicans said there would be no cost of living adjustment in social security checks next year, for the first time since the mid 70’s. They said it would not happen for the next two years. Protests were extremely loud as the networks led every night all week with the story, showing videos of older citizens who they described as people would would wind up eating dog food or dying because of the “draconian” cuts by the evil Republicans. The President was savaged on TV and in print by every journalist around, as well as every comedian, hollywood celebrity, and anyone else who could find a microphone.

Oops, my bad.

This announcement came under the Obama administration, with Democrats in control of both houses.

Funny how the silence is deafening.
